Stop Undercharging or Overquoting: Meet Your New Project Pricing & Proposal Estimator
If you're a freelancer, agency owner, or part of a dev shop, you know the struggle: pricing a software project is equal parts art and math. Get it wrong, and you either lose the client or lose your shirt.
We built the Project Pricing & Proposal Estimator on ToolsJungle to take the guesswork out of the equation. This free Text Tools tool lets you build accurate, transparent quotes in seconds. Just fill in the details—developer rates, designer rates, PM/QA costs—and let the calculator do the heavy lifting.
How It Works
Start by naming your project and selecting the project type (web app, mobile app, API, etc.). Then enter your client’s budget range, choose the currency, and pick the client type (new or repeat). The magic happens when you add your team rates:
- Developer Rate ($/hr)
- Designer Rate ($/hr)
- PM / QA Rate ($/hr)
Use the + Add Feature / Task button to break down the scope, and + Add Cost Item for any one-off expenses (licenses, hosting, etc.). The estimator automatically factors in a scope buffer and timeline, then generates a professional proposal summary you can copy with one click.
Why You’ll Love It
- 100% Free, No Signup: Works entirely in your browser. No email required, no hidden fees.
- Built for Real Projects: Whether it’s a simple WordPress tweak or a full-stack SaaS build, the estimator handles scope buffers and team rates seamlessly.

Practical Use Cases
- Freelance Web Developer: Estimate a custom e-commerce site. Add features like payment integration and inventory management, then see how different developer rates affect the final price.
- Digital Agency: Pitch a mobile app redesign to a repeat client. Use the client budget range to stay competitive while ensuring your team’s designer and PM rates are covered.
- Dev Shop Lead: Quickly scope an API integration project for a new client. Add cost items for third-party services and test different scope buffers to find the sweet spot.
